PingWin PRO methodology

EV in sports predictions

The expected value formula, a calculation example and the metric's limitations.

Formula

For decimal odds, EV = probability × odds − 1. Multiply the result by 100% to express it as a percentage.

Why EV changes

Odds move, changing both the break-even threshold and EV. Record the calculation time and never apply an old EV estimate to new odds.

Limitations

EV is only as useful as the probability calibration behind it. Analyze it together with actual results, sample size and drawdown.
